[ Bill is used to smart phones, but she's not used to this sort of a network thing where people just go online to chat and ask questions about things... But, she's new here, and she's trying to fit in. Plus she has some questions that she definitely can't ask the Doctor about.

When the video starts, Bill's dressed in a drab dark outfit with her hair pulled back in a braided bun. Very dystopia. She does a little wave, then launches into her question. ]

Hi. I guess. My name's Bill, just arrived. Except the portal thing didn't exactly let me pack, so all I have to wear is... well, not exactly my style. Anyone know where's good to shop around here? Someplace not too expensive; I'm a university student now, I've got to keep a budget.

OH! [ She holds up a finger. ] If you were going to university, and could study anything you want, anything at all... What would you study? I'm at a bit of a loss, myself. Never actually done this officially before.

[ She pauses to think if she has anything else to add, but no. That's it. ]

Anyway, yeah. If you could help me out, that'd be brilliant. Cheers!

I've seen one or two places you could get some clothes, but, I don't know if those places would be your style either. [ It's a new world, so new culture. And some of those hats were pretty wild. ]

I could send you some directions though. Oh, and if I were going to university - that's still af ew years off, but I'd probably study something in design - clothing design specifically.

When you find out where to start with clothes shopping, could you pass the information along? Believe it or not, this was something of a uniform for me in my position at home, so I haven't done a lot of choosing for myself.

["Believe it or not" because yikes, his boss has questionable taste, and that much is obvious even if Bill can only see the top at the moment.]

Hello again, Bill. [That probably should've come first, not tacked on at the end, but he will be a man of mystery. His voice is unusually husky for the high register in which he speaks, and sounds North American without any real distinctive traits beyond that.]

Okay but what is your usual style? I know a pretty good place that does nerd chic for cheap, but if you're looking for something more high fashion or formal, I'm not the dude to ask.

[ It's a caveat that probably didn't even need saying considering he's wearing a catbug shirt. ]

And I gotta say mechanical engineering. I'm biased 'cause that's what I studied, but liiiiiike, it's also objectively the coolest.

I was a literature student back home. I'm not sure if it'll be that easy to study that here, but I think I'd like to try.

You could try figuring out what you enjoy the most and go from there.

[The shopping issue pings her. She's a student herself and buying clothes on a budget is what she does best.]

There's a cute place at the market that has great summer outfits. Bet you could find some clothes there.

[Alec's still new to both the tech and this new world he's found himself in but the questions have him curious enough to answer.]

I don't know of any shops yet, but I'll probably know of a few places in a couple days. I can't promise that all of them will be inexpensive.

[His fashionable husband will insist on a shopping trip as soon as their family has settled down and gotten over the shocks they've had in the past few days.]

If I could study anything, I'd probably take classes in a couple subjects before deciding.
